Li was worried about her mother's kimchi. She knew that the kimchi was not selling well when she saw Wang Laosi's family was busy. She was afraid that her mother's family would lose money. The pork in the yard would be less attractive. She stood up quickly and said, "Mom, I'm going back to my mother's house. Wait for me to come back and clean up."
Zhulan rolled her eyes in her heart and hurriedly stopped Li, "You don't have to go back. Your mother's spicy cabbage has already been sold out."
Li was confused, "Mom, how did you know?"
Zhulan saw Wang Ru's expression change from the corner of her eye, and she felt better. "The spicy cabbage was sold to the escort company, and it was Wu Chun who pulled the strings. How do you think I knew that? Okay, pack up quickly. When you're done, take two pounds of meat back to your mother's house. It's just right for your grandma to taste our fat pork."
The benefit of Li's generosity was that Zhulan said everything was fine, so she was relieved and did not ask any more questions. She focused her attention on the pork again. Li cleaned the sausage casings and said, "Mom, my sister-in-law and I will go back to the kitchen to make blood sausage."
Zhulan waved her hand, "Go ahead."
Wang Ru pinched her palms, not only did all her planning go to waste, but she also got herself into trouble. She was so angry that she wondered why she was so unlucky while Li was not hurt at all. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't accept that a modern person like her could not outsmart the ancients.
Sun's character was really cowardly. Seeing Aunt Zheng return home angrily, she didn't dare to stay any longer and pulled her daughter, "Let's go back too."
Wang Ru shook off her cheap mother's hand and glared at her belly. It was all because of this piece of meat. Without this piece of meat, her cheap father wouldn't have been so ignorant of his own weight just because he had a little money. She didn't listen to her when she said to repair the house first. She felt that she was challenging her cheap father's status and scolded her.
Now, the money she lent out cannot be returned. She doesn't even have money to repair the roof, and she has no place to live. Not only does she have to stay at other people's homes, but she doesn't even have a tael of silver. Just living there costs five cents, and firewood also costs money. If she doesn't find a way out, she will have to sleep on the streets before the New Year.
As for the private money in her hand, she will not touch it!
Sun protected her belly. Sanya's look was too scary. "Sanyah, what are you doing?"
Wang Ru glared and shouted fiercely: "I changed my name to Wang Ru, don't call me San Ya anymore."
Seeing Sun retreating a few steps in fear, Zhulan hurriedly helped her up. She was not out of kindness but was afraid that Sun would get into trouble at the Zhou family. She really didn't welcome Wang Laosi's family. "The child ran away, you should hurry back too!"
Sun was still frightened and didn't even say thank you, and left quickly.
Zhulan pricked up her ears and listened to the noisy noise coming from next door. She thought to herself that Wang Laosi and his wife were really troublesome. Wang Ru had not managed to vent her anger on the Li family, so it seemed that Wang Ru could no longer suppress her resentment.
Zhulan secretly thought it was a pity that Wang Ru could not run away from home. In ancient times, one needed a travel permit and household registration to go anywhere, so one could not move around casually. Not only was human trafficking legal in ancient times, but kidnappers were even more rampant. The kidnappers were powerful and there was no modern high technology. The area was vast and sparsely populated, so it was a bit of a trap. It was difficult to catch kidnappers!
Moreover, in ancient times, there was no place for justice for those who were bought and sold. Even if you were really sold, the government would not care about you. This is why Rongchuan did not think of running away from home even though he was tortured by his parents. Once you become an illegal household, you may be sold to a good family if you are lucky, or sold to a dirty place if you are unlucky. It is better to die than to live a life worse than death.
The food next door was quiet now. Zhulan cut the pork into pieces about one pound in size and froze them in a large jar. It was convenient to take them out when eating. She had to wait for the eldest brother to come back to clean the pig heads, as she didn't know how to do it. Zhulan looked at the full jar of pork, then looked at her hands covered in pig blood and fell silent. I didn't expect that a rich second-generation like her could adapt so well to the ancient times. Not only did she not feel disgusted by the slaughtering of pigs, but she also didn't feel disgusted when she cleaned the pigs herself and was happy to do it.
Zhulan counted the changes since ancient times and looked up at the sky. The environment really changes people!
When the eldest grandson Mingyun saw that grandma had put all the meat into the jar, Xiyi's little face fell, "Grandma, don't you want to eat meat tonight?"
Zhulan looked down and saw that she hadn't left a single piece of meat. She smiled and said, "Eat. Not only will we eat meat tonight, we'll also stew the bones."
Mingyun stood still and said, "Grandma, you've worked hard. I'll help you get it to mom."
Zhu Lan laughed. The little guy was afraid that she would coax him. He was a little boy but a thoughtful man. He was from the Zhou family. Fortunately, the Zhou family had stronger genes than the Li family. The grandson took after the Zhou family. Otherwise, Zhou Shuren would have cried. "Okay, okay, grandma will give it to you right away."
